Calculations: (title, formula, replace and solve) One example only.
1. Use v-t graph (slope) to determine the acceleration
2. Compare acceleration due to calculated gravity to true value - 9.81 m/s^2 (% error)
Questions:
1. Compare your graph (time vs. distance) to the others in the class. What was the same or different between them? Can you explain why?
2. What was the difference between your t vs. d graph and v vs. t?
3. There are many ways to determine acceleration due to gravity - ticker tapes, picket fence, photogates and motion detectors. Investigate one of the options and compare it to using the IPad.
Conclusion
Restate purpose
List results - The acceleration due to gravity was.....
Discussion - Tell me about your graphs (what relationships did you see) and your calculations. Discuss the expected and unexpected results.
Errors - List 3 - Talk about % error. Be specific.
